Accenture has reported strong growth in its consulting and outsourcing businesses in its latest financial results, which saw revenues leap as customers seek to prosper during tough economic conditions.

In its results statement for the second quarter of 2008, the professional services firm reported an 18% increase in revenue, to £2.81bn.

Its consulting and outsourcing revenues reached £1.7bn and £1.13bn, respectively, which were both 18% up on the same period last year.
